Bath Rugby and Somerset County Cricket Club unite for dinner

Bath Rugby and Somerset County Cricket Club joined forces to host a successful Sportsman's Dinner at The County Ground in Taunton last week.

The 160 attendees included Somerset captain Marcus Trescothick and his squad, as well as Bath Rugby Academy director Danny Grewcock, player Dan Hipkiss and head of communications David Flatman, who co-hosted the event.

Guests were treated to a three-course meal, tales from the changing room, a charity auction for Go Commando that raised more than £1,000 and a darts competition.

Organiser Sam McIntyre, from Somerset's commercial team, said: “The evening was a tremendous success. I would like to thank all those who attended and in particular our partner Every’s Solicitors for all their help and support in making this dinner happen.

"The players we had from both teams are a credit to their clubs and were great sports on the night. It was fantastic to see them mixing with our guests and getting involved in the games and challenges.”
